Guess what, everybody…

Before we begin, I’d like to apologize for the delay. I meant to get this one out earlier this month, but I got sidetracked by another creative project that Damon and I are working on which may lead to something significant in the near future. But I don’t want to reveal too much of that until it looks like it’s actually going to happen.

Now, on with the fun!

Today’s look at the siblings from Nickelodeon’s The Loud House continues with the 3rd and 4th eldest sisters. One lives to rock and the other wants to have everyone rolling in the aisles. Today’s Pop Dream spotlights Luna and Luan Loud.

OVERVIEW

At 15 years old, Luna is the third-oldest child of the Loud family, and the middle child of Lincoln’s five older sisters. Her most annoying habit is speaking in a British, and sometimes Swedish, accent.

At 14 years old, Luan is the fourth-oldest child of the Loud family, and the second-youngest of Lincoln’s five older sisters. Her most annoying habit is telling bad jokes and puns, as well as pulling pranks.

APPEARANCE

Luna is slightly taller than Luan, but shorter than Leni. Luna sports a brown pixie cut (nice!) and her daily outfit consists mostly of purple (my favorite color) with a skull decal at the center of it and a plaid skirt. Luna is also the only Loud sister who wears boots.

Meanwhile, Luan’s hair is a lighter shade of brown than Luna’s. Like Lynn, she sports a ponytail, except that Luan doesn’t have bangs and she sports a stylin’ yellow scrunchie in her hair. She dresses in a white sleeveless shirt, a yellow skirt with a checkerboard pattern, yellow socks with a line pattern that are worn all the way up, and brown shoes. She also wears three pink flowers, one on her shirt, and one on each shoe, that serve as gag squirt-flowers. Luan also has braces on her teeth.

PERSONALITY

Luna’s passion is music. Early in life, she gave her soul to rock and roll.

She discovered her true self when she attended a rock concert at a young age. Note that she’s wearing purple here as well.

One running gag about Luna that I like is how many of her lines are song titles and lyrics.

Luan, meanwhile, lives for comedy. Her favorite habit is injecting groan inducing puns and one-liners into every occasion. Like a cop, Luan is never off duty. In one episode, it’s revealed that she records herself sleeping in case she tells a funny joke so she can use it in her act.

Luan is usually upbeat and easy going with a desire to make people laugh, but this kid has a dark side that surfaces on April 1st. On April Fool’s Day, Luan becomes a prank fiend. When April Fools Day comes, Luan becomes ruthless and crazier than ever to the points of being downright evil and psychotic.

FUNNIER MOMENTS

“Get The Picture”. Lincoln, upset that Lori has inadvertently destroyed his game controller and hasn’t apologized for it, Lincoln sends her an angry voice message. At the precise moment when Lincoln begins screaming, Luna busts in, rocking out, rendering Lincoln’s salty language inaudible to us the audience.

 

“For Bros About to Rock”. Lola and Lana recall (n flashback) how Luna ruined their first Blarney the Dinosaur concert by attempting a mosh pit in the audience.

 

Hey, those kids are young. They’ll heal quickly.

“Undie Pressure”. Luna (along with the rest of her sisters) has a bet with Lincoln in which they can’t do their favorite things for the afternoon. Luna’s is that she can’t speak with a British accent. Initially, she has a solution…

 

…Unfortunately, she hears a radio contest in which she needs to affect a British accent in order to win. She tries to whisper it, but eventually she screams “GIVE ME TH’ BLOODY TICKETS, MATE!”,  resulting in her winning the contest, but losing the bet.

“April Fool’s Rules”. On the morning before April Fool’s Day, The Loud Family prepares for chaos while Luan reminds them that “Oooooh! It’s Pranksmas Eve!”

 

Check out Lilly decked out in the watermelon getup. That’s both adorable and twisted at the same time.

Luan’s pranks are quite elaborate. In one, she somehow manages to gift wrap the entire Loud House.

In another, she covers her siblings in red gelatin.

CONCLUSION

Luna is reportedly series creator Chris Savino’s favorite character on the show. I wouldn’t put Luna on my favorites list, but she definitely has her moments. Luna’s best scenes are usually short, memorable scenes and lines. Admittedly, my opinion on Luan is a tad biased because she is one of my favorite characters on the show. Wacky, comedic jokester characters on TV are almost always male, so it’s a nice change of pace to see a female character who embodies these traits. Luan is rarely the focus of stories, but her scenes are almost always hilarious. Luan is like a female Marx Brother.
